Comfort
Old Point Comfort is one OF the foremost
winter resorts In the country. 1t Is so
happily situated in the middle country
separating the North from the South
that its climate is a most delightful blend
ing of the elements of both sections, with
predominance in favor of the South.
The winter is always open, snow rarely
falls, and there is bright genialiiy in
the temperature which is peculiarly agree
able to those who would escape the severe
cold of the Northern States. The Hygeia
Hotel is far.famed as being the seat Of
hospitality of this region. 1t is a great
hotel, eligibly located on the beach OF the
bay and under the guns of Fortress Mon
roe. 1t is perfectly appointed 10 every re-.
spect, and is perhaps the most comforta-
BILE winter hotel In this latitude. 1t is a
very pleasant place to spend ones winter
vacation. Social life is ever active, as
there is always gathered there throng of
pleasant people, who In addition to the
officers Of the garrison form an attractive
social circle.
Old Point, outside the hotel, is interes-
ting. Fortress Monroe Is one hundred
yards away /; the Soldiers Home, and tho
National Normal School, Hampton, New
port News, Norfolk, and Portsmouth, all
points of interest, are within easy reach.
In order that the public may enjoy the
privilege Of visit to this section, the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has ar
ranged pleasure tour of ten days to
start for Old Point On Thursday the Goth
inst. A special train, composed Of passen-
ger coaches and buffet parlor cars, will

Is done by forcing all the sounds made, to
pass through the nose before reaching the
ears of the listeners. The effect is unique !
The graceful and euphonic way in
which the elementary sounds Of our Ian
guage were uttered was not, however, the
only interesting feature OF the meeting.
Words were applied In WAYS entirely new
to us. Facts, new and startling, were
brought to our notice; aad the most won
derful trains Of reasoning were pursued.
For instance, We we're informed that "the

What great movement did he ever

what has he ever done but talk, and

A FELLOW down in San Diego, who
by some inscrutable dispensation of
the devil is allowed to edit y news
paper, has this: President Cleve-
Ian |, by his speech at st. Louis, has
shown that he is dazzling failure as
an agricultural fair orator. His ad-
dress was a Niagara of words, inno-
cent of an idea. AS q hand-shaker he
is success, however. He manipu-
lated the biceps Of nine thousand peo-
pie in one hundred and eighty min
utes.' The idea of the fellow who
wrote that prating OF ideas! He
would not know one If he encountered
it in his breakfast, and assuredly if
such a thing ever got into the waste
and uncultivated regions OF his vacu-
GUS brain it would get lost beyond re-
demption, and perish for fellow
thought with which it might
fecundate. Words, words, Words"
are the nearest approach to an idea
he ever reached, and even his COM
mand OF words tend to show his poverty
of thought. The fellows partisan
bias is 80 awry that if he ever says a
prayer, it is that Cleveland may meet
some i'll luck, so thoroughly does he
hate the Presidents name-probably
because by Cleveland's election he lost
his only change of making living at
some corner OF the public curb.

THE news reaches here from New

spectors appointed by the George La
Dor party came before the Police Com
missioners for their certificates, they
met with strenuous opposition in that
Board. The Commission is made up
in equal proportions of Democrats and
Republicans. Now, the allegation is
that Georges party draws most of its
strength from the Democratic ranks.
and the assumption would be natural
that the opposition would come from
that quarter. Not 80. There was an
absolute deadlock in the Board over
the matter-all the Democrats voting
to swear in the George inspectors, and

them. Finally the Republicans took
the matter into the courts, whence
an injunction was issued restraining
the Board from action. In spite Of this

SATURDAY OCTOBER g, 1881.

CALfroRNIA raisins are one OF the
latest of our fruit products to enter
Eastern markets in competition with
the imported article. Four or five
years ago our raisins were hardly
heard of. Last year was the first sea-
son in which they cut much OF a
figure, but when they did come to the
front they swept all before them. 1t
was very generally acknowledged that
our pack came fully up to the best
quality of the Malaga fruit. Each
season our packers are learning more,
and they take the greatest pains in all
respects to learn some new wrinkle in
curing or packing their crops. The
pack of the present season is just
reaching the Eastern markets, and
the most glowing reports come back
"A to the impression the fruit is max
ing upon the dealers. Press and
merchants in the Eastern cities all
agree that Spanish raisins have no
advantage in any respect over those
arriving from California. 1t il
conceded that the probability is
extreme that our pack will
beat the imported clean out of the
markets. 1t is no trouble for us tc
send half million boxes of raisins
across the mountains, if there is de-
mand for that quantity, and we car
increase that in very short time tt
twice the pack. The raisin packers
of South California-all our raisin!
are packed in the Southern counties
embracing Fresno county in tina
catagory-have taught those engaged
in all our productive industries an i'm
portant lesson. BY carefulness anc
intelligence, they have impressed up
on the country the fact that young as
we are in absolute years, we can enter
the marts of the world against all the
experience OF Europe, and beat them
out of the field. With the same care
and intelligence there is no shadow OF
reason why California should not sup
ply the entire country with all sorts
of fruits. To raisins we can add
dried figs, olives and nuts. 1t is
needless to name the ordinary decid.
uops fruits. dried, canned crystallized
or in a natural state. In these lines
the merits of our orchard crops are
we'll known. Candied and crystal.

like sweetmeats can be expanded in.
